Artificial staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning

cpc code 26220 covers the production of artificial staple fibres, which are an essential component in the textile industry. These fibres are created through various chemical and mechanical processes, and are used in a wide range of textile products, from clothing to home furnishings. The artificial staple fibre industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing raw materials for manufacturers across multiple sectors.

The production of artificial staple fibres under cpc code 26220 typically involves several key steps. First, synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, are extruded into long, continuous filaments. These filaments are then cut into short, uniform lengths, known as staple fibres. The staple fibres are then carded, a process that aligns and organizes the fibres, and may be further combed to remove any remaining impurities or irregularities. Finally, the processed fibres are ready for spinning into yarn, which can then be woven or knitted into a variety of textile products.

The main inputs required for the production of artificial staple fibres under cpc code 26220 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, cutting, carding, and combing. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production equipment and ensure the quality of the final product. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the manufacturing processes.

The primary output of the artificial staple fibre industry under cpc code 26220 is the processed staple fibres themselves, which are then consumed by 26310 Spinning of synthetic or artificial textile fibres and 13100 Preparation and spinning of textile fibres to produce yarn and other textile products. These artificial staple fibres are used in a wide range of applications, including clothing, home textiles, and industrial fabrics.
